'Jeremy's usually very cold to strangers, but the baby bump will attract too much attention. Then again, Newmoon Group will face the risk of bankruptcy if Holden Group doesn't pay the remaining balance…'
Corinne did not have the heart to sit idly as the company she took so much effort to build went bankrupt. Not to mention, she had a kid to feed, so she could not lose the company!
However, no matter how much brainpower she used on the problem, she could not come up with a perfect solution.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
She snapped back to the present and thought with alarm, 'Who could it be?'
No one would come except for the delivery man, who would come every other day to deliver groceries and other essentials, but he already came yesterday!
Corinne frowned as she watched the servant open the door. She sighed with relief when she saw the servant bowing.
'It's just Jason. But what's he doing here again? The villa is a four-hour return journey from the city. Doesn't he think it's troublesome to visit me? Besides, I've already told him to keep the visits to a minimum and that I'll contact him if there's anything.'
Corinne knew Jason would come up on Jeremy's radar too if his men caught wind of all the unusual and frequent visits to the villa. Jeremy was doing everything necessary to catch her!
'What the heck is he doing here? His presence will only cause me trouble,' thought Corinne.
"Look what I brought you, Corinne," said Jason with a gentle smile and a takeout box in his hand.
Corinne glanced at him. "You're more worried than me? Why? Is it because you're scared the Holdens would come down hard on your family if they knew you're hiding me? Actually… I think it's very risky for you too. That's why I told you you don't have to hide me here. I can just rent a place in some backwater town."
Jason shook his head. "Nonsense, Corinne. The fact that I'm willing to help you means I'm willing to take the risk. What I'm trying to say is, I'm worried that Jeremy will take you away if they find you. I'll never get to see you again if that happens."
Corinne was speechless.
Jason touched the outside of the takeout box. The cajun crawfish was already cold since the journey there took two hours. He gestured for a servant to take and heat the cajun crawfish.
After that, he looked at Corinne, who looked troubled. "What's the matter? Are you in a bad mood? Is it because you're getting bored here?"

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
